Take two in the east (Cincy and UConn) and two in the west (BYU and ???).

From an inventory and media standpoint I can see the benefits. But the on-field product and the $/team would seem to be limiting factors.

Agreed. But what if B12 could snag UA and ASU?

NorthwestCoug

then they'd definitely want BYU in "west" division. i think taking one west

The Arizona schools leaving the P12 makes no sense for them, but hypothetically

AZ schools leaving for B12 would initiate a major re-alignment movement

They aren't leaving. Useless to speculate.

I think you are right

If Big 12 could snag UA/ASU, then they'd also lose Ok/OkSt or some other 2some

I completely agree with this. Take whatever two they want (hopefully BYU) now

Depends on what the simulator that they ran says.

As an engineer, this part of the process is very intriguing to me

You all should quit and go into analytics! J/k.

I would pick UCONN/Cinn and BYU/SDSU (for SoCal exposure/recruiting)

San Diego to UConn? Makes BYU to WV seems like a milk run

what would CB do if they went to 14 and didn't include BYU? yikes

A melt down to end all melt downs

No, the 2011 meltdown would still be worse.

If they are really serious about the channel thing, they need 14

Nat Gas Man

No that would split their sacred B12 money even further.

The Consultants have been asked what ideal size is. IMO, 12+ is option.

CosmoK

Agreed. We are all expecting 12 but 14 is an option

A no-win to take BYU? Lol.

The whole thing needs to be scrapped and go to 6-8 more geographically aligned

why not just go to one league with different conferences inside the league..way

Nat Gas Man

Isn't that just the NCAA and P5/G5

Dissenter

nope a single governing body over all P5 schools

Nat Gas Man

2/9/16 5:29pm

They could expand to 16 and we still wouldn't get an invite

Backcountry

2/9/16 6:16pm

If they add SIX teams, and don't add BYU, the league will crumble

That's not my point.

I know, but the league can't survive adding so many mediocre programs

They should go to 14 and get the best teams possible before the Big 10 pics up 2
